Dutchy I’ve used so many of your ideas I’d be very proud if you were able to use one or any of mine.

And no there’s is no patent but by showing it here it does put a date to when the ideas came to my mind and got created.

Gr8Hunter has called me a teacher but it’s more in the line of, I love to show other’s what I have learned and want them to love model building as much as I do, and yes I’m addicted to model building and this site. lol

And it’s Dutchy and Ducky’s attention to details in their builds that’s helped up my building skills but also the many other’s that have showed their models here and different way’s things can be done.

I was thinking about this last night and it still is night here, [4 in the morning LOL] my main influences are first Toy’s and Joys plans with their copy, cut, paste, then build techniques and the way Dutchy approached them that got me building the way I do.

The wheels I build all started with seeing Dutchy experimenting with making tyre treads on the band saw and his use of a tread making jig on the table saw.This fired up in me a 2 year search for a safe fast wheel making jig for mass production, just put in the wheel blanks and set the saw and start cutting treads.I should add that I’m never satisfied with how something works there’s always a better simpler way to do it so I’m always tinkering with the design of something I make..

I should also add [and this never ends] that it’s thrilling to see someone take one of my ideas and add to it.
